Maybe not actually. They were a subsidiary of SCL Group, which according to Wikipedia shut down yesterday as well. Something awful will exist in its place, like Palantir Technologies.

HN truncated the link to say "Ac..." and I thought it was a link to the page for Accenture, which changed its name from Andersen Consulting to get away from the bad reputation associated with the Andersen name.
The new firm is called Emerdata. It even involves Eric Prince of Blackwater, along with Mercer and the rest of the scum and villainy.
